Egg donation is one of the most thoughtful and life-changing gifts a woman can ever give to another woman or married couple. Although many couples take pregnancy and having children for granted, there are millions of women who struggle with fertility and conceiving children. Donor programs throughout Denver and the state of Colorado make it easy for women who want to have children to match up with qualified donors whose gift can bring a healthy pregnancy and a healthy child into their lives.

ABOUT EGG DONATION

Without the use of donated eggs, couples that have been struggling to conceive would be left with very little hope. With the use of eggs donated by healthy women, most recipients with infertility can successfully become pregnant.

SUCCESSRATES

Many studies continue to confirm that there is a high success rate for couples who previously experienced complications with getting pregnant, carrying a pregnancy to term, or delivering a healthy baby.

Becoming an Egg Donor in Denver and Colorado

Women in Denver, Colorado, and throughout the country who sign up to be egg donors must undergo extensive medical and genetic testing to rule out any conditions that could be harmful to the recipient of the donation or to the child. In addition, women who are allowed to be donors must meet a strict criteria of health guidelines, including meeting a specific weight range, age range, and being non-smokers.

Potential donors also must complete multiple questionnaires, pass several interviews and psychological evaluations, and undergo blood and other medical screening tests to make sure their eggs are suitable for donation to other women. In addition, the questionnaires and interviews are designed to verify that the potential donor is in good physical and

psychological health and has accepted her role in donating her eggs to another woman or couple in Denver or another city in Colorado.

Becoming an Egg Recipient in Denver and Colorado

Women who decide to receive eggs often do so after several unsuccessful years of trying to become pregnant. These women may have issues with infertility due to their genetics, certain medical conditions, environmental causes, injuries, or other trauma to their reproductive systems. Egg donation may be their only hope of successfully conceiving a child with their partner or husband.

Similar to donors, recipients must undergo extensive medical testing to ensure that their bodies and reproductive systems are healthy enough to sustain a pregnancy. Full physical and blood tests are conducted to determine the recipient’s current level of health and rule out the possibility of any underlying conditions or diseases. In addition, the woman’s uterus and reproductive system are also carefully inspected to make sure they can support a child for the duration of the pregnancy.

Choosing an Egg Donor

After the recipient has been medically cleared, she can choose her donor. Many women already have donors selected, but others may choose to use an anonymous donor that has been selected through a database. Once the donor is selected, the

egg is fertilized and implanted in the recipient’s uterus. She will then have regular checkups to ensure the baby is growing and developing at a normal and healthy rate.

Life after Donation for Women in Denver and Colorado

There are few experiences as life-changing as egg donation. Women who donate often feel a sense of connection to mothers who received their eggs, even if they donated anonymously. On the other hand, women who are recipients are often forever grateful for receiving the gift of giving birth to healthy babies—a feat that may have been impossible if it weren’t for modern medicine and egg donation.

As the science behind donation becomes more and more refined, the success rate also increases. Nowadays, donation has high success rates, provided both the mother and the donor are in good health, are relatively young, and are good matches from a psychological and physical standpoint.
